This last weekend we were able to go to Lautoka to minister in a church there.  We
took the bus from Sigatoka to Lautoka, which is a close to 2 hour bus ride.  All 5 of us ended up sitting in 3 seats in the
very back.  We were told that we could all have our own seats, as we had paid for the seats,
but the 3 seats in the very back were the only ones that I could find more than 1 seat, and even
half of those were not actually available due to people who had gotten off for a few moments
to get something to eat!  Thankfully the family sitting next to us got off in Nadi, and we were
able to spread out a little more for the last half hour of the trip.

When we arrived in Lautoka, John and Uriah passed out tracts to people walking past while we waited
at the bus station to be picked up.  It was amazing to see how if someone missed getting one they would
 turn around and come back for one. Uriah got so excited when someone took the one he had. 
Unfortunately, he is so short that not too many people noticed him.

While we were in Lautoka, we were able to fellowship with the brother of the Pastor here.
Bro. Scott Daku and his wife were very hospitable, and treated us to pizza the first night
that we were there!  It was nice to have some "normal" food, even if it wasn't quite the same as
North American pizza.

On Sunday, John was able to preach for the evening service, and we sang 2 specials.  I was
also able to serve by playing the piano for a couple of the congregationals in the evening,
as they currently don't have anyone playing the piano.  When we asked if we could use the piano
for the specials, the brother that is filling in for the pastor here (who is on furlough) asked if I would play.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to be in on the preaching in service much, as the way services work
here, is that if you have babies or small children, you take them out, so I have been in nursery nearly every
service.  The exception was that on Sunday morning in Lautoka there was a ladies Sunday School
class, and we were able to bring the babies in there.  It has been nice in the fact that I have been able to
speak to the Pastor's wives a little more.

The boys are doing well, a little more on the cranky side sometimes, as it is difficult to have a constant schedule here,
as well as the heat and constant sweating.

We appreciate your continued prayers for God's direction,
Danielle

P.S.  We will try to post some more pictures soon.
